When Do Students Begin Thinking About Their Career Interests?
Most of the time career planning begins after a student lands in the final year of their under graduation or post-graduation (when they are searching for a new job). Well, college students can still identify various options during that point in time but it's considered too late to find the right career for their future. During the last hour, they end up selecting a career option they don't wish to enter.
So what is the best time for students to start thinking about their career planning?
According to recent research, students start to gain career-related and occupational interest as early as in the seventh grade. That is the time when they start determining the importance of career goals and what they wish to be in the future. As students start upgrading themselves to the next grade they start getting more curious about their future goal and this is when they should start planning for their career.
In the early days, students start to select career choices depending on their interests and values but as the day passes their career planning gets more dependent on how much money they are going to make or whether they have a good job at a reputable company or not. But instead of focusing on the job and paycheck, I would recommend students should select a career that aligns with their interests, values, and most importantly skills.
During the high school interest of every student, regarding their career development at the same rate, these interests generally include thinking about having a technical or scientific career like becoming an engineer, teacher, doctor, and more.
